CCS64 Forum

Are you using the cursor keys on the numeric keypad or the other set of arrow keys?

It's worth noting that the real C64 only had two crsr keys, one for down and one for right. To go up and left, you'd press Shift with one of those keys. CCS64 does this for you automatically when you press the left ...

Yes, the key is "Tab" because it's in the same relative position as "Ctrl" on a C64 keyboard. For the same reason, your keyboard's left "Ctrl" key will emulate the C64's "C=" key.

This can get really confusing around the - + : and = keys... it helps to have a good memory and/or a picture of a C64 ...

Yeah, the SID registers are write-only. This is normal. (Except for the Voice 3 envelope and oscillator outputs, which can be read but not written.)

Don't use the "Load and play" function key. Use the "Select disk" function key instead.

I'd be surprised if any video card out there supports setting a video mode with an odd number in the resolution. That makes me wonder why they'd require such an "odd" resolution for screenshots.

Isn't there an option in the screenshot settings to alter how much of the screen is captured? I think I ...

A long time ago, I managed to create a cable that connects a C64 1541 drive to an old PC's printer port (it was a brand-spanking-new 75 MHz Pentium) and use a program called "Star Commander" to transfer my entire library to D64 files.

The instructions on how to create such a cable, plus the "Star ...

I've another.

2D vertical scroll. You controlled an airplane or a spaceship. You always started from a cave, that was your HQ. you can fly left and right.
So the game goal was, as I remember, to save little white mens, who standing top of buildings. They only stand and waves their hand, you have ...

Thank you Stuart I sent a PM to StevenRoy asking if he had the older version just to try and convert some freeze states. I think it would be a handy feature or utility to be able to keep freeze states current with the version format changes. Maybe in the future.

I just got your PM.

...Yeah, I've ...

Maybe switching to another application causes CCS64 to not notice when you release the Alt key, so it gets stuck. Try tapping the Alt key briefly after you return to CCS64; that may fix it.

(Windows XP is NT-based while Windows ME is more 9x-based, so there's bound to be some difference in the ...

I had the same problem, but it only occured when the CCS64 window was larger than 1/4 of the screen. It got worse the larger the window was, so I tried shrinking it to less than 1/4 of the screen (smaller than 640x480 on a 1280x1024 desktop) and the sound problem went away. It must be some sort of ...

This probably isn't completely relevant here, but it's still interesting:

From Symantec's Security Response site:

Perl.Santy is a worm written in Perl script that attempts to spread to Web servers running versions of the phpBB 2.x bulletin board software prior to 2.0.11, which are vulnerable ...

It sounds to me like something could have gone wrong with the KERNEL32.DLL file while upgrading to Windows XP. If this is the case, though, then it should affect more than one program!

Perhaps DirectX isn't being installed correctly. If you have other programs that use Direct3D, it might be a ...

You got it.

I wonder if it could be a version conflict... I remember that different versions of the CCS64 2.0 beta had slight variations in the freeze file formats, enough to cause CCS64 to exit suddenly without explanation (not a good way to handle run-time errors, by the way) when you tried to use a freeze ...

How do I get to the basic prompt? I can't find it in any of the docs and at the mo' I'm just getting the blank screen.. Reading some other advice, it was implied the basic prompt should pop up after selecting Boot, but no go.

Yes, when you start up CCS64, you should immediately get the BASIC ...
